A gear box is a mechanical
device that uses gears to transfer energy from one device to another.
There are many types of gear boxes and they are used everywhere. We
have encountered them on a daily basis, without even knowing what
they are. They are very popular, and there must be at least a few
reasons for them to reach such a level of popularity. We will talk
about that, too. We will discuss the different types of gear boxes
and what are their benefits. They are fairly simple machines, but the
advantages they will bring you are far better than what any other
thing can deliver.
There are many types of
gears that are inside of a gear
box. These gears all
have their different benefits and let's talk a bit about them. Spur
gears offer a constant velocity ratio and they are highly reliable.
Helical gears are very durable, they can withstand huge loads without
any kind of wear and tear. Plus, a helical gear can transmit motion
and power between a right angle and parallel shafts. Bevel gears make
it possible for the application to switch the angle at which it
operates. Worm wheels work quietly and very smoothly, they are
smaller and they won't use up so much space. Rack and pinions are
compact and cheap, they are the low budget option for anyone who is
looking for it.
Now, let's talk about what
kind of benefits you can get from a gear box. First of all, there are
greater speeds achieved because multiple gears are being used. Plus,
it requires less power to move those gears as they work together to
move themselves. Go teamwork! With the increased speed, power also
increases, but they still don't require much in order to run. With
all of these combined gear boxes achieve maximum efficiency on any
kind of application that they are installed. Gearboxes have a longer
lifetime and they will serve you for many years. They have a much
higher density when it comes to power. This is because the load is
shared, instead of one gear operating by itself. The biggest
disadvantage to gear boxes is that they operate at a louder tone.
Very few people have considered that this is a problem. It doesn't
bother the most of us. As we can handle the noise because when
compared to all of the benefits, a little bit of noise is nothing.
